I think that black doors would work very well with the colour of the siding and give the house some punch! Paint the railing in the same white as the trim and also paint the risers in the stairs. If you have a storm door on the front door paint it black just like the door. I also suggest you replace the sconces for larger black ones. At a front door, the sconce should be 1/4 to 1/3 the height of the door. It's a very nice house, see how the brown seems to disappear!

Good suggestions from lisedv. Just thinking a sage green for the siding would be great with the roof color…with a soft white trim. Do trim back the plantings close to the house to expose the front porch.

Lisedv's ideas look good, though I like the porch and railings as they are. Some additional suggetions:

Power wash your roof.

Yes, remove or drastically prune shrubs to open up the attractive wood porch. Add a cobalt front door and bench on the porch, large copper lamp.

Consider a pergola over the garage either in whte like your trim or cedar like your porch and paint your garage door white.

Note re my above sketch:

I did consider showing the siding painted but that's a whole different ball game budget wise so I kept it simple...

I never would’ve thought of the cobalt! I had considered black though.

A mature juniper is unlikely to survive transplanting. It is too large for that spot, but not by much, and I think it's a suitable plant there.

I would first try pruning. However, junipers won't fill in if you cut them back into the bare wood, so don't prune it to the point there are holes in the greenery. Do thoughtful snips, you can always cut more but you can't fill it in.

I would paint the garage door and front porch railing white.

I would remove the railway ties around the landing area, and either remove the wee strip of landscaping in front of it altogether, or make it wider. The tiny strip in front of the landing area is just an odd proportion.

I do think different landscaping could really open up the front of your house--porch, doorway, walkway and minimize the "brown" problem you dislike. Note below: pergola over garage door. This isn't expensive. Yours could be in wood that matches the porch. It should be at same level as bottom of roof over porch.

As a stop-gap I'd prune the overgrown shrubs, wash the roof shingles, and paint the garage door white.

After that let's see what's under all the greenery to determine your next step

Here's a tan house with black garage and red front door. Just as important is great foundation planting bed with shrubs like yours but pruned down to showcase front porch.

The tan siding color is perfectly neutral. Paint the porch white to match the trim (that will eliminate a lot of the brown) and put a fun color on the door once you can see it!

Housegal and I were posting at the same time. Look how good the white porch looks.

I do like a crisp white mixed in there but I prefer more contrast.

I would do a charcoal door ( that leans slightly brown ) or a nice sage green. You could also consider changing the trims to a nice stained wood and even make them a little wider.

Good luck!
